THAT CANDIDATE.

When our Northern brethren interest
themselves In the patriotic task OF choos-
ing a Southern candidate for Vice-Presi-
dent, we ought to highly appreciate the
kindness but all the same there is at
times smack Of condescension and pat
tronage that imparts a disagreeable flavor
to the superior wisdom of our Demo
cratic brothers Of the North.
II cannot fail to strike the average
Southern Democrat that If we are 10 be
allowed TO nominate a Southern man for
the second place on the ticket, perhaps
we could arrange who the man should be,
and select a representative one better
than anybody else And as We give 1913
electoral votes TO back New York, New
Jersey. and Connecticut, we are not only
entitled 10 name the second man on the
ticket. but also to have a say in who
should be the first one.
We heard from a distinguished source
at the North that the thing to do was TO
nominate a Southern man with Northern
ideas
Excuse u.s. grand, high oracle
We want a Southern man with ma.
tional and modern ideas who compre
bends that the new civilization in the
South is sweeping over and CELEBRATING
the old civilization but we must honor
the old and preserve its high character
which. infused into the mercantile civil
cation. will enlarge the new regime with
the morality Of the old, its virtue in pri-
vate life. and its patriotism in public
affairs.
A distinguished Western statesman
never wearied Of praising the char
acter of the Southern Congressman
of the antc-war time, and, though no
lover Of the South, he conirasted them
with many Of the Northerners, with the
pointed remark that the Southerners
never stole from the Government
Now. the South wants a man for Vice
President in 1883 who has been soldier
and is statesman who will represent
the perfect Cancellation Of the sections
and broad American idea Of free citi
zenship and there are dozen promi-
nent men who will fiji the bill We care
not if such a man was private soldier
OF a general officer, or whether hc is now
a member Of Congress or a private citi-
zen.
We insist on as little as possible Of the
Southern man with Northern ideas Let
the Western man be like the West, the
Northerner like the North, and the
Southerner like the South. We all can
be true American citizens without being
uniform in exactly the same ideas ON all
subjects.

Valentines studio was the scene of
quite leyee yesterday, and the pedestal
on which the statue of Breckenridge
stands was covered with bouquets sent
by numerous friends.
The committee who ordered the statue
for the State of Kentucky have signifed
their thorough satisfaction with the
work, and upon critical observation the
likeness is perfect and the character
truthful The dignity Of the figure and
at the same time the animation in it
make II attractive apart from the por-
traiture Of the man.
1t represents a civilian, but the militant
character OF Breckenridge is apparent In
the proud set of the head and the firm
position of the body. The casting of the
statue in plaster will begin tomorrow
Ii is of heroic size, about foot higher
than the Foley statue Of Stonewall
Jackson.
